Touching God: An Introduction to Christian Mystical Traditions

Leader:  Janet Williams (Asst. Curate of Cirencester)
Welcome and Host:  Jane Gracie                                             24 People

Janet Williams is a Curate at Cirencester Parish; she has a particular research interest in the development of the mystical traditions in the early Church Fathers, and has taught both undergraduate and adult-interest courses on mysticism. Her aims in this course are to discuss the place of mysticism within Scripture and tradition, to share insights into different forms of mysticism, and to celebrate the enormous breadth and variety within the Christian mystical traditions. The course is intended not simply as an academic exercise, but as a practical sharing of resources and insights for our own spiritual practice.  Beginners and seasoned mystics will all be welcome!
